There is a terrible animal holocaust going on right now with at least sixty billion land animals and one trillion water animals killed every year and probably very many more. This is in part due not only to the greed, cruelty and negligence of some people in power but the failure of so many others to take steps to stop it or do anything about it. That includes the failure of so many animal charities which spend 90% or more of their money on properties, investments, expensive advertising and public relations, high salaries and lavish expense accounts. What is more charities that don’t do that come under attack from those that do, on the basis of they need to be more ‘transparent’, or more ‘professional’, whatever that means.

Petitions have been proven to work, and provide an excellent way to draw people’s attention to what is happening in specific and general situations. Yet many people won’t even sign more than a petition or two every so often. Others will claim that petitions don’t work. The fact is, petitions do work and petitions are one of the easiest ways to share information with acquaintances, friends or family, in person, on Facebook or just about anywhere on the internet.

Most have heard something about YouSign petitions going nowhere, and have noticed that some sites have blocked them.

One of the worst things about Yousign and Petitionhub is that they sensationalize specific cases of abuse – sometimes copying other people’s petitions and even using old information, so that genuine and important petitions – which could help to save many more animal lives – do not the get the number of signatures that they need.
